jim always called her the old woman
to me. He wns awtullly funny in the
way he'd go on about her. He'd pre-
tend he was afraid of her, and make me
laugh so my sides would ache
He used to tell me how she
scolded him for taking me out rowing
and going to walk on the beach in the
evening, and at last if the old harridan
didn't open on me herself,
She came stalking along the piazza
one morning, just after breakfast, and l
knew by her looks that she meant mis-
chief. L was scared, | admit, but am
not the woman to be put down by doz-

placid as ever.

"Good morning" said she, as grim as

you"
I'm flattered, I'm sure said I,
smiling, as innocent as i,aby.

have the right to ask what mean; but
that won't be you"
you're old enough to be his mother"
said Mrs. Maloon.
'Then you're good deal too old" I
answered her back, with my blood get
ting up.
"Hes a fool" his mother kept on,
"but you needn't think he's such fool
that he cares for you any more than to
amuse himself at the expense of your
vanity. I sent for him because he was
in mischief somewhere else. Now I've
got to send him away because you don't
know how to behave yourself.
"You'd better put him in bibs and
lock him up in the nursery once for all, ;"
said [. 81 don't wonder he seems young
enough to you to let you do it,
She looked at me rs if she'd like to
eat me, and then she said with an ugly
glitter in her hard old eyes:

on purpose for him to hear.
"James, " old Mrs. MaIoon said, with
the air of dragoon, ''your friend, Mrs.
Tompkins, is insulting your mother.
Come and defend me-"
"Your mother, Mr.. Maloon," said T,
getting on to my feet, ''seems to be
pretty we'll able to defend herself. I

At FIageoIet,
MRS. ToMPKINS FREES HER MIND CON
CERNING HER VACATION.

1t is all very we'll for Cyrus to say !
am particular, but it is no such thing.
L have noticed that men always have
some disagreeable things to say about
their wives. and this is the staple charge
against me, which he brings forward as
an offset to all possible shortcomings OF
his own. Not that can see that it ex-
cuses Cyrus for staying out till morning,
or going on in that scandalous way with
Widow Yeaton, if | were particular. In
asmuch as he ought in that case to be
more careful of my feelings, one would
think it made his conduct worse, rather;
but there is never any use in arguing
with man. Men never can compre-
hend a awoman's reasons, and they always
take refuge in a tangle of words that
they call logic, as if that meant any,
thing.
However, when Cyrus declared that
if / went to Flageolet for the summer [
would never find anything to suit me, 1
was so particular, [ firmly determined
that if L did find anything not to my
taste, he should be none the wiser; and
L have kept my resolve so steadfastly
that the, effort has nearly killed me
I've written to sister Emma and John
wife just what l thought of the place.
and one day, when Mrs. Maloon was
worse than usual, [ even relieved my
feelings by writing a long letter to Cous-
III Matilda, and | never did like Cousin
Matilda. But to Cyrus [ have used Just
one phrase, and l have begun every let
ter have sent to him with the very same
words: The place and the people here
are absolutely delightful" If that does
not suit him it does not at least give him
a chance to grin at me with his nasty,
81 told you So"
But it is lie all the same, and my
conscience pricks me so much when [
write it that one rainy day l counted up
the letters I should have to write him
before L go home and set the words
down on that number of sheets, SO that
it does not have to be put down any
more than the name of the hotel print
ed on the paper.
The truth is l hate Flageolet. / hate
the house and the people and the things
we have to eat and the two stains on the
ceiling of my room and the noise the cur
tain makes when it goes up and the
wreck down on the shore and Miss Simp-

hate Mrs. Maloon.

The Panama Canal.

The Panama Canal, or rather "The In
teroceanique, will be, when completed,
about fifty-fve miles long, says IdR&-
Democrat correspondent. So far about
eighteen miles have been dredged out on
the Chagres, and portion of the noun
tain at Culebra has been blasted out.
This is all the work of contractors, not of
the French. The American Dredging
Company have done their work nobly,
while the French dredges have lain idle
and rustcd along the shores of tie
Chagres. The chief aim cf French en-
ployc seems to be to drink absinthc,
cognac and cIaret, and wear cork hat
and top boots. They are extremely
clannish, and view Americans as an in
ferior race of animals.
